I'd still very much recommend associating two machines to the portable 
hotstop that you mentioned you have. When you've done that see if you can 
get the ping utility to send packets between them. If that works look at 
something like sftp or a simple script like the one below on one side and a 
regular web browser on the other:

-----
$ more ~/bin/pyserv 
#!/bin/sh
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
-----

This two line script starts a web server that listens on port 8000. It just 
serves up the files in under the directory you start it from. Access it 
from the other machine by pointing a web browser at 
http://<ip-address>:8000/





Best wishes,
